Chorus Ensemble
Boss CE-1 recreation with 512-stage BBD, five switchable mods, and JFET bypass matching original.
The PastFX Chorus Ensemble Deluxe is a faithful recreation of the legendary 1976 Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, using an obsolete 512-stage 1970s bucket-brigade chip with the same bipolar voltage operation and unique preamp section as the original.
External controls include Level (with switchable 50K/500K Pot Mod), Vibrato Depth and Rate knobs, Chorus Intensity (controlling both rate and depth simultaneously), and a High/Low input sensitivity switch. Two footswitches select Normal/Effect and Vibrato/Chorus modes. Five internal switchable modifications provide deep customization: Depth Mod, Buffer Mod (restores high frequencies), Stereo True Bypass (now standard), Pot Mod, and Boost 'N' Blend (with two internal trimpots for wet/dry adjustment).
The circuit features a triangle-wave LFO for chorus and sinewave LFO for vibrato, Noise Killer circuitry, red LED peak level indicator, and dual-color LFO rate LED. Housed in a 120 x 94 x 50mm (1590BB) enclosure drawing 110-130mA at 9VDC center-negative. Handmade in Brisbane, Australia.
